Worship is a crucial part of Leaside’s life. The style is generally relaxed, and there are no regular service books or set forms of worship.
Sunday services are led by either our own Minister, visiting Preachers or Leaside’s own Worship Group.
Our Sunday morning service is also available on Zoom.
Although there is a basic pattern to the services, there is not a rigid formula which is followed week-in, week-out, and this variation seems both to be appreciated by, and to attract, many attenders.
We have experimented with different elements in worship, but always see these as an integral part of our coming to God: we do not attempt the outrageous, nor do things deliberately to shock.
Prayer is a key part of worship and Church life. An intercessions book in the vestibule is brought forward during the service, and the needs identified there used by the minister in the prayers during the service. Prayer calls go out to a large part of the membership when there are particular needs.
